Lost in a C Code Jungle? How to Comment Out Large Blocks Like a Pro!

Ever wrestled with a massive chunk of C code you needed to temporarily disable? Commenting out large blocks is a common practice for debugging, testing, or simply experimenting without deleting code. But doing it manually, line by line, is a recipe for madness!

So, how do you tame that unruly code jungle? The most common and straightforward method is using `/* ... */`. Simply place `/*` at the beginning of the block and `*/` at the end. Everything in between will be ignored by the compiler.

**Example:**

```c
/*
int importantFunction() {
// Some complex logic
return 0;
}
*/
```

**Important Note:** This method doesn't nest! If you already have `/* ... */` comments inside the block, it'll break. For nested commenting or more complex scenarios, preprocessor directives like `#if 0` and `#endif` are your friends.

Happy commenting, and may your debugging sessions be short and sweet!
